The ewer, standing at a height of 21.5 cm, is adorned with intricate chiseled decorations and engraved trellises and shells on a matte background. Its neck features delicate wavelets, while the spout boasts an enchanting design with shells and flowers. The handle is beautifully crafted in threaded winding with a cherub head attachment. Paired with this magnificent ewer is an oval basin resting on a pedestal adorned with nets. The edge of the basin is embellished with wavelets and a frieze of flowers centered around a shell on a matte background.

This remarkable piece bears traces of charge and jurande hallmarks under its body, indicating its authenticity and quality craftsmanship. Capturing every intricate detail in stunning clarity, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as documentation for future generations about historical artifacts like these that have graced our world centuries ago.
